It looks like Kim Hyun Joong's scandalous assault case is coming to a close.

On September 15, his legal rep disclosed to Star News, "We agreed on a withdrawal of litigation with no conditions if Kim Hyun Joong officially apologizes.  The withdrawal will occur tomorrow in the afternoon.

"It was important to ease her feelings.  She wanted an apology more than discussing right and wrong.  We officially apologized, and she decided to withdraw the lawsuit after accepting his feelings."

On the same day, Kim Hyun Joong indeed wrote out a letter of apology on his official home page, addressing his ex-girlfriend.  

He wrote, "I am really sorry for inflicting a lot of psychological and physical pain on the person whom I've trusted and loved and vice versa for two years through this act.  I am ashamed that I behaved in a way I shouldn't have as a man.  As everything in this incident was my fault, that person has no reason for receiving criticism.  I apologize once again to that person, and I want to relay words of apology like this to that person's family and acquaintances.

"I hope, more than anything, that she will accept my apology and forgive me.  Using this as an opportunity, I will work hard to become a bit more considerate and to live more healthily."

[Update] - It turns out that 'A' has not yet made a decision about dropping the charges, rather, she's considering dropping the charges as she determines whether Kim Hyun Joong is sincere about his apology. Her lawyer told media outlets, "It's not true we have decided to drop the case. We are still of the position that if [Kim Hyun Joong] apologizes sincerely, then we will drop it. As of right now, we are trying to assess if he is sincere [in his apology]."
